Pros

Co-workers were nice and helpful. New management kept the government from putting jobs outside scope of contract on us.

Cons

Leidos came in, underbidding our employer at the time by so much that they had to lay off a large number of folks to make the new budget. After things had settled I was effectively told that they didn't like my replacement in my old role and that I would pulled from my current job and placed back in my old one. I said I would not accept the job change and I didn't believe they had the right to force me. I was told, "sorry, but you can't always get what you want". So I left. Certain people in leadership blatantly try to poach employees from the subcontractor, CGI, because they didn't like the fact that they couldn't order them around like they could the Leidos people. Saying things to try to scare them into switching when possible, like "I can't keep you safe on rebids if you are working for CGI."

I absolutely loved working at Leidos. The team was supportive, collaborative, and always willing to help each other succeed. There were plenty of opportunities to learn new technologies, take on challenging projects, and grow professionally. Leadership encouraged career development, and I felt there were many paths for advancement. The work environment was positive, respectful, and flexible, making it a great place to build a career. I would highly recommend Leidos to anyone looking for a company that values its employees and provides excellent opportunities for growth.

Pros

Employed barely company is going under

Cons

Leadership have ruined this company. It is currently selling as much property as they can. Letting people go but currently still hiring be very careful taking a position here. It may that them a few years to rebound from this loss of all contracts. That should let you know the company is doing pretty bad.
